NEW YORK — Chobani is pulling some of its Greek yogurt from supermarket shelves after hearing of "swelling or bloating" in cups. The company said it has investigated and found a type of mold commonly found in dairy that may be to blame.

Chobani said the affected product came from its Idaho facility and represents less than 5 percent of its total production. The company has been working with retailers to remove and replace containers with the code 16-012 and expiration dates Sept. 11 to Oct. 7. Chobani, which is based in Chenango County, did not say how many of its cups or what varieties were affected. The effort was voluntary and it is not issuing a formal recall.

Greek yogurt in general has surged in popularity, with fans saying they prefer its thicker consistency and higher protein content when compared with varieties that have long been sold in American supermarkets. Chobani says customers with the affected code dates should contact its customer team at care@chobani.com to get replacement products.
